What does the deposit do?
A deposit is required for all appointments and must be paid before your appointment is scheduled or design is drawn up. A deposit guarantees your appointment time and date. A deposit is also non-refundable. If you must cancel/reschedule your appointment, you must notify us by phone or in person AT LEAST 48 hours in advance. We will roll your deposit over to a new date. If a no call, no show occurs you automatically lose your deposit and appointment time/date.
